Waterfront Cabin on Beautiful Water
619 Sandy Mountain Drive is a true value for Lake LBJ real estate. This property contains a well maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin that has been tastefully updated and 47 feet of waterfront which includes a newly constructed steel boat house. The house is is situated on a beautiful protected cove about 100 yards from the main body of the lake. This private cove area is perfect for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and makes for an easy in and out for watercrafts. The cove also protects from rough water and noise from lake traffic.
The house has two spacious bedrooms plus a bonus third bunk area which could easily be converted into a additional bathroom. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and solid wood cabinets that could easily be painted for an updated look. The home also has a very large living room with large windows offering a beautiful view out to the lake.

The property also has a storage building which currently houses a full size washer and dryer and provides ample storage for tools and water toys. There is also a very nice carport that offers an awesome outdoor barbecue area and more outdoor living.
What I love most about this piece of Lake LBJ real estate is the lush green setting that creates a perfect waterfront yard, shaded from the harsh sun with plenty of room to enjoy and play. The huge, mature trees create the perfect canopy allowing in just the perfect amount of light. In my opinion the waterfront here is pretty ideal in that it offers cove protection with open water views on Lake LBJ. Grab your bathing suit and come home!

Investment Opportunity on Lake LBJ – New Price
If you are looking for a good investment opportunity in Lake LBJ real estate, here it is! This one is oozing with potential.
2826 Lakeview is one of the finest pieces of open waterfront property on Lake LBJ. This property has 171 feet of big waterfront facing directly at Applehead Island. The property is approximately 1/2 acre in size and has beautiful green grass, a fishing pier and a 2 stall boat dock ready for your summer enjoyment.
The property has a small 3 bed, 2 bath cottage that has been updated and is being offered fully furnished. The home sits on the second level above a two car garage. The home has a wonderful porch area with big views and then a third level “crow’s nest” offering 360 degree panoramic views of Lake LBJ.
The property was previously listed by another real estate professional at $725k at which price it did not sell. More than anything the property needed a fresh photo shoot and some energy and passion behind it. At $620k this property is priced aggressively and ready for a wise buyer willing to buy a property that has huge upside.
One of the biggest challenges facing this lot is that it has granite covering about 1/3 of the property. Most people are turned off by the way it looks but many dont know that it is very easy to lay dirt on top and plant grass that will significantly increase the value of the property. The cost is minimal but you have to have a slight vision or a good waterfront broker on Lake LBJ to show you the end result.
There is not a better lot available on the lake and this amount of waterfront makes this a great place to build a dream home. So much potential and opportunity here for the right buyer. I expect this property to sell very quickly!

Marble Falls Bridge Demolished
I am sure Lake LBJ real estate owners have heard about the bridge that was demolished in an effort to build a new bridge for US 281. Â The explosion happened on March 17th at approximately 9:48am. Â The explosion caused some minor damage to verizon phone lines and some of the sewer lines in Marble Falls. Â By 7pm of that night phone service was restored and all repairs to sewer lines were repaired. Â The project should improve traffic in and out of Marble Falls for Lake LBJ real estate owners.

Who is marketing your LBJ Real Estate?
Too often I see bad real estate professionals mis-market real estate at the expense of the seller. Â These poorly marketed properties sit on the market for a long time and end up selling below market value. Â Today’s waterfront buyers scour the internet in search of good properties and if your property is not being marketed in a way that attracts buyers you will never get showings. (more…)

Battle for water
There is a current battle taking place between rice farmers in Matagorda county and the LCRA who controls water flow from the Colorado River. Â In recent years, the LCRA has ensured plenty of water necessary to grow and produce rice for these farmers however the recent drought has changed their position. Â For the second year in a row the LCRA has voted to not send water downstream to these farmers due to current drought conditions.
Farmers are arguing that the lack of water is really hurting the economy in these farm towns. Â The LCRA argues that low lake levels reduces spending from recreation. Â In an article posted on Statesman.com it was said that over one growing season, this rice requires, per acre the same amount of water used by 18 single family homes in Austin and only produces 1500 lbs. of rice, enough to feed family’s of four in each of those 18 homes for two years, eating rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This is good news for owners of Lake LBJ real estate as it shows the commitment to the lakes water levels over agriculture. Â To read more, check out the article on Statesman.com.

Correct Square Footage?
When buying a waterfront home on Lake LBJ it is critical that your Lake LBJ real estate professional ensures your square footage is what is being represented by the seller. It is not the real estate agent’s responsibility to actually measure as this is outside the scope of their work but your real estate appraiser should take measurements and compare it against what the taxing jurisdiction has listed.
I recently encountered an issue in which we discovered that my client’s home was 200 sq. ft. smaller than he believed and than was represented when he purchased the home. In this particular case the difference in value was approximately $30,000. This can be a significant difference and can materially affect the value of the property you are buying.
In areas such as Granite Shoals or Sunrise Beach where older homes exist there are often times added square footage that needs to be properly accounted for. When people make additions the square footage calculations can be off due to the fact that there is limited oversight and regulations governing construction in these areas. Many times you will see Lake LBJ waterfront homes built on stilts and the owner will close in the space below, nearly doubling the living square footage. However, be careful because depending on how this is done, the height of the ceilings and the quality of construction this may not be true square footage. Your Lake LBJ real estate professional can assist you in making this determination.
